'Our idyllic village is being taken over and turned into Blackpool'

Residents of a picturesque village are up in arms as they say rowdy revellers are bringing chaos to their streets. Locals living in Whalley, in Lancashire 's Ribble Valley, have reported property damage, streets littered with vomit, public urination and sex acts, as partygoers come from as far as Preston, Blackpool and Manchester.

A fearful resident, who chose to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, said she had witnessed drug use on bin lids, women urinating in alleys, and trespassers using her garden as a toilet Father-of-two Mark said he was knocked down by a gang of intoxicated women attending one such event. "I was walking back from the Co-op and in the other direction came a group of about four or five 30-40-year-old women, who were staggering, or struggling to stay up, on high heels.

"On a Saturday afternoon, it's not the sort of thing that you would want your children to see in the street and listen to that sort of language." Conservative Ribble Valley Borough Councillor for Whalley & Painter Wood, Mark Hindle, commented on the village's struggles with late-night disturbances. Conservative county councillor for Ribble Valley North East, Ged Mirfin, highlighted the area's relative wealth as a factor in drug affordability among party-goers.
